"The Woman Inside" is a delightfully twisty thriller. It is told from the perspectives of three main characters (Bill, Karla, and Jennica), and their narratives are interspersed with excerpts from police interviews with various characters and news articles related to the crime in question.
I really enjoyed this format. I liked gradually learning more about what really happened from each character, then comparing their viewpoints with what I was learning from the "official" sources. The author skillfully wove all of these threads together to arrive at a satisfying conclusion. I'll add that it WASN'T what I expected, and I was thrilled with the surprise!
All of the relevant characters are well-written, with enough unique details to make them seem like true individuals. I enjoyed learning more of each person's backstory along with their perspectives about the current events.
As an added bonus, the novel is set in Sweden. I liked reading about another country while also trying to figure out the mystery/thriller storyline.
Definitely 5 out of 5 slices of yummy provolone!
